When DOOM was released in 1993, it required an IBM or compatible 386 computer, 4 MB of RAM, and 24 MB of hard disk drive space. The family PC you kept in the fabled computer room may not have been able to run it. Today, though, you can run DOOM on your phone, through your internet browser, on an Apple MacBook TouchBar, a TI graphing calculator, a pregnancy test, an ATM, and almost anything else you can imagine.

Since DOOM’s debut, programmers and designers have been obsessed with modifying the revolutionary first-person shooter and porting it to new platforms. In recent years, those ports have become far more ambitious and far more… weird.

“[DOOM] captivated thousands of people to the extent that some players wanted to add more to the game or learn how it ticks,” says Zach Volchak, creator and owner of CanItRunDoom.org, a site dedicated to compiling the various platforms people have gotten DOOM to run on. “The weird devices that can run DOOM are just a natural evolution of the porting community.”

When Christian Gudegast wrote the first draft for Den of Thieves, a grimy cat-and-mouse thriller inspired by the longtime Angeleno’s real-life interactions with the criminal underbelly of Los Angeles, Michael Mann hadn’t made his acclaimed crime film Heat yet. So by the time Gudegast made his directorial debut with Den of Thieves in 2017, he was a little amused when people called it “dirtbag Heat.”

“The funny thing is, is that I wrote the initial outline draft, before Heat was ever released,” Gudegast tells Inverse.

Inverse spoke to Gudegast about the real-life inspiration behind Den of Thieves 2, taking Gerard Butler and O’Shea Jackson Jr. on a Eurotrip, and just how many sequels he has planned.
